You step out of St. Mark’s Square and the city rearranges itself: carved stone, narrow calli, and a seam of water that threads the islands together. The guide draws a line through centuries as you walk — from the Byzantine mosaics of St. Mark’s Basilica to the hulking facades of the Doge’s Palace — while everyday Venice slips past in doorways, laundry lines, and shopfronts.
